products. The system uses also the
WMS
protocol for data
displaying and the
Géoportail API

to
IGN
base maps.
Figure 4:
implementation of the system
The web interface of the implemented system is shown on
figure 5
. It is
composed of three parts: the first part consists in a text-field for entering
the query as in a classical search engine where the user can specify which
data she/he is interested in (here '
channels
'). The second part (on the left)
consists in a set of tabs; each tab corresponds to a database and provides
information about data interesting the user in this database. The third part
is the cartographic visualization of the data corresponding to the user's
need in each database. When the user switches from one tab to another
one, the cartographic visualization of the corresponding data is
automatically updated.
